Simply soaking the Cool Vest® in water provides a protective layer for dogs from direct and indirect sunlight and heat. Its laminated lining keeps dogs dry. The Cool Vest® doesn't use any toxic chemical polymer crystals, so it is safe, thin and very lightweight. Perfect for summer outings & everyday walks for your dogs. Cool Vest® is made with a special fabric that absorbs and retains water well. It requires no refrigeration and takes less than a minute to prepare. Unlike the products withpolymer crystals, the Cool Vest® never get too heavy or bulky even when you leave the vest in water for longer time. The vest utilizes a simple scientific principle - cooling through evaporation. As water gradually transforms from a liquid state into vapor, it consumes the heat around it. The same effect happens when you soak a T-shirt in water and wear it to cool down on a hot day at the beach. The differences between using a wet T-shirt and the Cool Vest® are 1: the liner is waterproof so dogs don't get wet and, 2: this special fabric allows slow evaporation. The result is you don't have to deal with a messy, wet dog while trying to make them comfortable and you don't have to run for water every 15 minutes to retain the cooling effect - On average the vest remains effective from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the air temperature and humidity. To refresh the effect, only thing you need to do is to wet it again. Anywhere, anytime, just slowly pour a bottle of water on the vest whenever you want to refresh the effect. The Cool Vest® is intended to reduce heat exhaustion for all age groups and kinds of dogs. The Cool Vest® covers vital organs, providing cooling effects without excessive coldness that would be harmful to a dog's health. This sporty vest is available in 5 sizes in 2 colors. MADE IN JAPAN, US PATENT PENDING. Size Large: Neck 13 ~ 23 inches Girth 26 ~ 37 inches

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Not only did it fall apart (velcro's unraveled) BUT the company would not let me return or exchange it for a new one. I owned the vest for less than 2 weeks when the velcro strips started to come apart from the vest. I politely called the company GRAMERCY and AMAZON and neither would stand behind the product for more than 72 hours. VERY DISAPPOINTED with the product and the companies.

After I ordered it, I found out it would take 6 weeks to arrive. I tried to cancel it but it had already shipped from Japan, so I couldn't cancel. So I ordered a different one to try, which I love. This one does not fit well and does not work as well as the other one I ordered. I did not return it because I would have to pay for shipping it back to Japan and a restocking fee.

I'm a dog trainer ([...]) and I work my Lab (yes, Lab) in Schutzhund. With the summer heat it can be almost impossible to get any work done. I'm skeptical of any of these vests but figured I would bite the bullet and finally get him one anyway. With his thick Lab coat I didn't expect too much. Usually the only way to keep dogs with such thick coats cool is to constantly wet down their necks, stomachs, and paws.

We first started using this and I was amazed with how well it worked! He stays dry and you can rehydrate perfectly with a bottle of water I bring down to the field when we train, like it says. I put my hand under the vest and he's so nice and cool under there versus how hot the rest of him gets that isn't covered by the vest.

He looks a bit ridiculous in this baby blue vest, but it keeps him cool AND dry so I'm happy and he's happy!

I have a dog with brain damage(after a pit bull attack) and she now has seizures and overheats easily, but loves her daily 3 mile hikes. This cooling vest is really cool. It isn't messy or bulky or full of chemicals like he ones made with beads inside. I stick it in a bowl of ice water a few minutes before our walks and we are good to go. It really works in hot humid 90-100 degree with 70% humidity weather AND it covers her chest where the dogs really need the cooling.I was worried about taking a chance with it being a bit pricey and only one review, but it is durable and lightweight and seems to really work. I am buying another one for my other dog to keep her cool on our walks, too!Highly recommend.

I purchased a Cool Vest for Dogs Cool Vest for Dogs, Blue, Large about one month ago (in July). I live in Arizona and have used it on my dog nearly every day since I purchased it.

On the plus side, the vest keeps him cooler. I particularly notice it when we get home from a hike--it only takes a few minutes for him to stop panting once we are inside the cool house, whereas before he had the vest, it could take much longer, and I'd have to wipe him down with a cool, wet cloth to help him "chill out."

On the negative side, the vest does not extend very far down his back. His entire lumbar area is still exposed, and since he is black, he heats up rapidly. The biggest problem, however, is that the Velcro no longer sticks well! My dog walks for a few minutes and the straps come apart. I have cleaned the Velcro, but that hasn't helped. It seems as though the wetter the material is, the worse the problem. This is a huge pain in the neck. The vest needs a more heavy-duty type of Velco, or I'll have to start pinning the straps. For this reason, I'm only giving the vest a 2-star rating.

Note: The best thing to do for your dog is to avoid walking or running in the heat. If you are out in hot conditions, be sure to offer your dog drinking water often. I also wet down my dog's head frequently when we are out in warm temperatures--even when he's wearing his vest. Remember, dogs can't sweat like we do, but must thermoregulate by panting. When air temperatures are high, dogs are very susceptible to heat stroke.

I do not have the discipline to attend to the requirements for my two dogs: 1. To cool the jackets. 2. Put on their harnesses 3. Add the cool vests and then finally add the leashes. I just simply go late in the day when it's cooler and then they both roll on someone's front lawn when has been watered (I make sure I go by when people have watered their lawn) to cool off if they need to. I've seen them do this even with the cool jackets on and we hadn't gone that far. Less than half an hour. Temperature was around 80 deg.
